Which blade size is used for sensitive skin?

• A. #15
• B. #7
• C. #10
• D. #40

Answer: (C)

When protecting sensitive skin, the goal is to avoid shaving the skin too close. A blade size that leaves a moderate amount of coat and cushions the skin reduces friction, minimizes irritation, and lowers the risk of nicks or razor burn. The medium-length blade provides this balance: it’s gentle enough for delicate skin yet still effective for grooming, allowing you to tidy the coat without exposing the skin to a harsh shave.

The other options tend to cut closer to the skin or require more passes to achieve the same result, which increases irritation risk or discomfort for sensitive areas.
